I read something similar a few months ago. The effects of bullying never really go away.

Yeah. Kids facing bullying rarely know what to do. When they do try to handle it, they do so themselves and their own strategies isn't always the best (e.g. cutting, and then ...suicide). So your point is very important. Some people just won't like you, no matter what you do; will want to pick on you, etc. If you know how to deal with it effectively and don't let it get to you, it won't affect you as much.

hmmm...well...bullying is not what it was in the 1980's. these kids are tryna kill you. that said...sometimes the repercussions are worse these days. 1. if u fight back...the school is not on your side and there's a high chance that this incident can fucc your record. 2. if u fight back the bully will most likely go get some friends and come back and kill your ass. Literally.

Yes...teach the kids to deal with it and fight back but the school needs to be on the bullied person's side and actually punish the bully. You're not going to do away with bullies but show these kids that are getting bullied that they have support and help. Show these kids that they will not be punished worse than the bully if they fight back.

That's a lot easier said than done. In my case, I was one of the smallest kids in the class, skinny with bad skin, and that alone made me an easy target. I was always getting picked on by girls twice my size.

I remember a time in grammar school, I was waiting my turn to use the slide when this big, Bertha looking wench kicked me square in the stomach for no reason. I just laid there in severe pain, trying to catch my breath and many other incidences like that happened. Even then, schools didn't do much. My mom did what she could like come up to the school to talk to or threaten, who ever was bothering me, but after that, it just continued.I was always getting kicked in the stomach, hair pulled, spit on, etc. School was not fun. And those things DID stay with me for YEARS. I just didn't look a people the same and lost trust. So I just stayed off to myself. Even to this day, I tend to prefer my own company rather than be with a crowd.

My mom ALWAYS told me "You just need to learn to fight!" I was just too scared. But like I said, when you're a kid, it's a LOT easier said than done.

^^^THIS. Even when a person is in an old folks home, there are elderly people bullying and in cliques. It is a part of life and it is important to learn how to deal with unpleasant people and adverse situations very early on in life.

Wish it wasn't the way but this is reality. Instead of pretending bullies don't exist, they need teach the consequences of bullying and teach people to cope.

my coworker works at a home for disabled adults... some old woman knocked another lady's food off the table and rolled her wheelchair away some people are just assholes
